AMAZING! I feel like it could be at an upscale restaurant like Candle 79. I cook all the time and this is one of my best. A few notes:
– I let it marinate for 40-45 min and it\’s more flavorful
– What\’s the celery for? I didn\’t use it
– Instructions could be more clear by listing out ingredients, but I just winged it when I didn\’t know
My fiance\’s favorite meal that I cook!
